MUSIC HORROR STORIES: A Collection of Gruesome True Tales
By Janet Fisher, Goodnight Kiss Music
"MUSIC HORROR STORIES" is a GREAT book for anyone who has
dealt with the Entertainment Industries on a professional
level. It also makes a lot of sense for those who are
thinking about entering into music as a career. As it is
written by a variety of authors, the flavors and experiences
are quite a feast, and for the most part told very intimately.
